Title Capitalization

Title capitalization is when every word in a sentence, statement, phrase, or label are capitalized except for certain words. Capitalize all words except for:

Prepositions having less than five letters, (e.g. "for", "in", "with" or "to", but "From" or "Under")

Conjunctions ("and", "or" and "but")

Articles ("the", "a" and "an")

Use title capitalization in the following cases:

Window and dialog box titles

Group box / group line labels

Button labels

Tab labels

Listview column headers

Menu titles / menu items

Derivatives of KCommand

Combobox items

Listbox items

Tree list items

Other heading/title text

Sentence Style Capitalization

Sentence style capitalization is when the first letter of the sentence, statement, phrase, or label is capitalized and all other words are lower case. The only exception to this is proper nouns which are always capitalized.
